We don't need a talent injection from the third PG who will play little to no minutes, but we could use a lockeroom guy who's a role model and a leader (even though we have some of them already, as you pointed out), right?
Regarding Brown's rotations, he said he'd play Meeks and Ebanks at the 2. Some hinted he'd also play Blake at the 2 for some stretches. There are simply not enough minutes for him to play Fish at the 2 as well...
That's not even taking into account that Goudelock might still be on the team, or that CDR might play some 2 as well.. No way Brown would play Fisher at the 2.
I hope You are right about Fish playing little to no minutes. Im afraid, that if we get him, we'll play 4 on 5 for 15+ mins a night.

Fish winds up in OKC and they also have an offense requiring those same traditional skills. Like Kobe in the Olympics, both of them were often relegated to standing in the corners.
This year, especially with 2nd string, spelling our amazing traditional PG Nash, Fish "could" provide that needed steadying on the court infulence in "limited" minutes and very much help run the Princeton for them, vs a lot of P&R for 1st string, since the Princeton is similar to the Triangle. He's always in great shape and durable as an insurance player and I think he shoots better in that scenario than last year with Lakers and OKC.
Fish is physical enough to bang and fight with the screens being set against us, unlike anyone else on the squad at the 1 except maybe DJO. But then I would not know in that regard about DJO, only have read others' reports, since I have no EFFING Lakers TV yet.

There are only two ways to go with this team and point guards...... up and sideways.......

How is this any different than 2000-2011 with the exception of the Payton year?.......
WTS... I'm in the minority here in that I'd keep Duhon and let Blake go to make room for Barbosa and/or Fisher. Duhon has played decently in the past and he's more durable than Fisher or Blake (in recent years).

My point isn't that we usually have good backup PGs (or starting PGs FTM) it's that we have a glut at the position (Blake, Duhon, Morris, with only DJO not guaranteed). It would seem pointless to bring in yet another PG if it's gonna be Fish when we could use a spot for a guy like CDR.
Letting Blake go is a lot easier said than done. We have nothing to package with him unless it is one of our young guys. It'd be a lot more likely that a package with Duhon would go out since he's only guaranteed 1.5mil next year.

That, and Kobe has never won a ring without him, I say bring him back for good luck!
The look of fear on Blakes face when he launched that shot vs OKC means he's not big time. With a game on the line, last shot to win, Kobe, Nash, Fish, Pau and Dwight on the floor means money. Who you going to leave open?
